One or two strong pull rounds but no barbel in the net today. Maybe the overnight chill had an effecr on the fishing.

What a difference a day makes, no sign of fish. Decided to head home early.

A good day after a slow start, the others were eels.

4 barbel caught, 1 lost early on and thought that was it for the day, hour later it was away, while that was resting in the net I put my other set up rod out and that was away pretty soon resulting with 2x 8lb+ barbel in the net.

Got there and the r8ver was over 2m and flowing through very fast, almost turnt round and went home, walked a little and found a nice slack in the margin. Had a bit in the first 30 mins and ended up spending 9 hours in the same place, ended up with 7 chub upto 5lb7oz (new pb) All caught on 14mm halibut pellet, switched to meat and had an eel so switched back straight away.

The best fishing was in the slower water close to the bank after recent rains put the level up to 7' on the Lydbrook guage a few miles upriver. Three barbel at 4, 7 1/2 and 9 1/4 lbs (a pb) and two eels with numerous fish lost in snaggy areas below trees. A good day in difficult river conditions.. All caught on meat. They weren't up for pellets today.

Water high, coloured and moving fast after recent rains upriver. Fished the quieter water by the bank and might have had one or two more if they hadn’t escaped in tree roots.
Two decent eels also put a bend in my old fibreglass John Wilson Avon rod.
